Nostell Fixtures Brought Forward
Both league fixtures against Nostell MW have been brought forward to the Friday evening. Our home fixture will mean there is no clash with the South Yorkshire Karting Club on the weekend. The FA Vase tie against Nostell remains on the same date, however permission from the FA to move the game to the Friday has been submitted. 24/25 Fixture List Online
The men's first team fixtures for the 24/25 season have been released. Starting with a trip to Brigg Town on Saturday 27th July, we welcome NCEL new boys Ilkley Town to the Recreation Ground on Tuesday 30th for an evening kick off. Some other key highlights amongst the fixtures include the visit to CML North Champions Dearne & District on August 10th. November will see the trips to Worsbrough Bridge (2nd) and Athersley Rec (23rd). Postponements and cup ties could see some fixtures move around, but as it stands our final game of the season will be at home to Athersley Rec on Saturday 12th April. A number of home fixtures, including the final game against Rec, could be moved to the previous Friday due to clashes with the South Yorkshire Karting Club weekends at the Recreation Ground. All home fixtures have the sponsorship options of £40 for the match sponsor and £20 for match ball sponsor. Please email [email protected] to book a game. You can check out the full fixture list here. The Bob Weston Trophy
For the first time since the 1990's, the Bob Weston Trophy will be competed for by the Wombwell teams of Town and Main. The trophy, named after a much loved PE teacher at the now gone Wombwell High School, was competed against Wombwell Main by Wombwell Sporting Association (later Wombwell Town) until they folded in 2000. Volunteer Kev Lycett was able to retrieve the trophy last season and the new Town team are looking forward to having a chance of claiming the prize for the first time on Tuesday 23rd July in their final pre-season friendly of the season. Adults and Concessions are just £3 with U16s allowed to watch for FREE. Payment on the gate is cash only! Wombwell Town vs Wombwell Main - The Bob Weston Trophy - 7pm kick off Squad Update
With just over a week to go before the start of the season, we take a look at the squad and how it's shaping up ahead of the season opener at Brigg Town on July 27th. Goalkeeper Jono Davis returns another season, but will face tough competition with new signing Charlie Preston joining from Worsbrough Bridge. The keeper impressed in matches against us last season for Ollerton Town and Bridge, and we're hoping to see him in action against Wombwell Main in our final pre-season friendly on Tuesday 23rd. In defence Jason Paling, Owen Sykes, Gareth McDermott, Alf Thompson, James Copley, Joe Egan and Captain Rikki Paylor are joined by former Shirebrook, Retford Utd and Selby centre back Jack Dando and former Houghton Main player Ricky Berry. The midfield will see the return of Danny Youel and Connor Tonge for a second season with former Worsbrough Bridge and Armthorpe player Jack Wilson joining after a spell at Step Seven club Dodworth last season. The added expertise of Danny Patterson, who has many titles under his belt and won the league and cup double with Parkgate last season, boosts the midfield options even further. The biggest changes to the squad come in the forward's department. Eddie Agnew, Gavin Allott, Jordan Kershaw, Kane Reece, James Smith and Joe Wood all return, but they'll be battling for places against new signings Alfie Broughton, Connor Hodgson, Josh Nodder and Charlie Rogerson. 25 players make up the squad as we approach the season, with a mixture of experienced players in Allott, Patterson, Nodder, and the club's all-time appearance holder McDermott - and youth hoping to make a big impact with the likes of Broughton, Hodgson, Rogerson and Smith showing what they can do in pre-season. If every player is available for the opening game at Brigg, it''ll be a tough challenge for Karl Rose and Jason Dodsworth to select just 16 names for the squad! Jubilee Friendly Postponed
Our friendly against Jubilee (16th July) has been postponed as our opponents cannot raise a team. The club tried and failed to find new opposition to no avail. The Reserves will travel to North Gawber on Friday 19th July for a 7pm kick off. Please come and support our young lads who prepare for their first competitive game on Monday 22nd July at the Recreation Ground against South Elmsall United Services. Our next first team friendly is against Brighouse Town on Saturday 20th July with a 1pm kick off. Drone Photos

Wombwell Town will play their first FA Vase game at home against fellow NCEL Division One side Nostell MW. The draw saw the Wellers pulled out of the bowl in draw number 20 with the likes of Parkgate and Horbury Town already given their respective ties. Following ourselves local rivals Athersley Recreation were given a home tie against Retford United, while Dearne & District welcome Darwen. Worsbrough Bridge came out of the hat later on to make it 4/4 home ties for the Barnsley teams with Prestwich Heys visiting. The First Round of Qualifying will be played on Saturday 24th August with the winning side receiving £550. The losing side will receive £160. The Second Round of Qualifying was also made with the Wellers once again facing opponents at the Recreation Ground should we get past Nostell MW. The tie, scheduled for 21st September, would face either Ashton Athletic or Stockport Georgians. Pre-Season Training Begins
Wednesday 26th June saw the first team joined by reserve team hopefuls as almost 30 players were put through their paces gently on one of the hottest days of the year so far. The session saw a good mix of ages with experienced heads helping the younger players - some just 16 years old - get to grips with what was expected of them. Plenty of water was taken on board during the session, which saw foot tennis and two mini games making the training and enjoyable, but tiring one. Aside from the players it gave the first and reserve team management a chance to work together and create a cohesive atmosphere with both groups working together. On the other of the town Club Secretary Alan Percival and Reserve Team Secretary Carl Brennan were being formally welcomed into the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League. The Reserves will play in a strong looking Division Two for the 2024/25 season. If you're interested in playing for the team please contact manager's Ade Barnard on 07876 277270 or Carl Pilkington on 07800 753606. Match & Match Ball Sponsorship and Pitch Squares Available

Club Wellers Due to Merge
As you know Club Wellers has been running since the club began in 2018, offering 2 £50 prizes per month. The money raised has been great for the club with money going to work on the ground (painting, clubhouse chairs, and new dugouts spring to mind), however the number of people with us each month has been going down gradually over the months. The club did a drive which did I crease numbers for a short time, however these have fallen again to an all time low. With this taken into consideration we have decided to CLOSE Club Wellers and merge with the 100 Club that is now operated by our Juniors for the Juniors. PLEASE CANCEL YOUR STANDING ORDER. Any money transferred to the club starting July will be considered as a DONATION only. The final Club Wellers draw will be made later this month. We would like to thank everyone who have been a member of Club Wellers, especially those who have been with us since it began in 2018. Vertical Divider
